Leveraging Talent Intelligence to Address Broad Business Challenges

If you’re focused on using talent intelligence to improve recruitment, stop. You’re far better off using it instead to address broader business issues. Indeed, as Marlieke Pols, my colleague and a talent intelligence consultant at Phillips, explains, talent intelligence is the application of external data relating to people, skills, jobs, functions, competitors, and geographies to drive business decisions. She further points out that it’s “about helping the organization make smart talent decisions, forward-thinking, evaluating best practices, interpreting labor market data, solidifying, and clarifying talent strategies.”
